New Home Theater Equipment, Seven Reasons Why We Love The UPnP High Definition Media Server

Apple TV might have brought media servers to the forefront of public attention but it's far from the idea solution for people who want to add on equipment to their existing home theater to expand its usefulness. Without spending thousands of dollars on replacements for things they have already. Thanks to UPnP technology there are other options and we're fallen for the UPnP high-definition media server.

1) You can easily watch YouTube videos and other streaming media

It's been possible to play YouTube files for a while (provided you were willing to download them, convert them into a DVD friendly format, XVID or DIVX usually worked, then slap them on a disk) but not many people wanted to go through such a convoluted process.

The UPnP high-definition media server makes it 10 times easier . Just type the YouTube URL into the computer software and with a little bit of wireless streaming technology it's there on your home theater system.

2) You can connect whichever system you want

If you're a home theater fan and you're running a television which isn't HD you're not going to be able to use the Apple TV as it only accepts HDMI chords. That's not the case with the UPnP media server. Whether you've got a home theater system that uses a RCA connection, a composite connection a SCART card, or a HDMI plug the media server has the connection you need.

3) It looks good

It's black, it's shiny and it has nice smooth edges, what more do you need in a gadget?

4) It'll play pretty much anything

The last thing you want is for your media server to only play certain files, especially if you're using it to open up a whole new world of media to your home theater. The UPnP media server will play pretty much any digital movie format, as well as most music and picture codecs.

5) You're getting more for less

The UPnP high-definition server is well priced and doesn't come with any exclusive partnerships with video rental companies meaning that you can shop around for the best deal before renting a video.

6) Ease of use

Setting up this system was easier than easy. All we needed to do was put the CD into our computer, click a few buttons and then our computer was ready to go?hooking the box to the home theater system was easier than easy. It was relatively painless to set the connection details and because we could choose between a WiFi receiver or LAN input it meant even if the WiFi reception was bad we could connect the computer to the home theater system.

7) We can plug media directly into the server

There was no need to put the USB/SD card into the computer when we wanted to show off photos. We just plugged it into the server itself and we were showing off photos on the TV within seconds.

There you go, there are seven reasons why we and maybe you love the UPnP high definition media server
